Still reminiscing on one of the most beautiful moments we’ve had—our “Fashion With Us” show. 💙✨
It wasn’t just about the clothes or the runway, but about celebrating confidence, individuality, and the power of inclusion.

Our incredible models with Down syndrome lit up the stage with joy, pride, and undeniable style. Each step they took was a reminder that fashion belongs to everyone, and that true beauty shines when we create spaces where all are seen, celebrated, and empowered.

Here’s to more moments like this—full of heart, hope, and high fashion. 👗🌟

A throwback to our uplifting Down Syndrome Family Workshop in Tobago 💙🌴

A day filled with learning, laughter, and love — bringing families together to support, empower, and champion inclusion. This meaningful event was proudly supported by Republic Bank.

Moments like these remind us why inclusive spaces matter — where every person with Down syndrome is seen, valued, and given room to shine. 🌟💛

Endless thanks to our partners Blue Waters and Fruta for keeping everyone hydrated, refreshed, and energized throughout the day! 🫶💧🍓

About last night ❤️
I was so inspired by these strong soldiers from the Down Syndrome Family Network who raised Down Syndrome awareness at their fashion show "Fashion with us" at the Hyatt Regency Port of Spain.💛 I am humbled to stand with them and champion their cause.💙
